We stopped the skype worship with our home congregation since we tried gathering a few locals to meet up. For starters, we met up at a couple's home. There were 4 of us, the couple and 2 other young ladies.

After returning home, the kids acted silly in the front porch for sometime.

On Saturday, Dh had to work so I brought the kids out to the playground to play with H's kids.

Another instance of ds1 not ever using equipment the way it's meant for. He always climbs structures that are not meant for climbing.

Kids always think adult stuff is more fun. Instead of the kids' playground, they prefer to use the adult fitness corner equipment.

The 4 boys playing some statue game.

McDonalds - the inevitable place for parents to bring their kids to end off the playdate on a high note. (In Utah, there's one right outside our house. In Singapore, there's one right across the road from our Jurong flat. Here in Tianjin, there's one right there too, within walking distance.)

That's the walk home after the McDonald lunch. Trekking through the apartment blocks back to ours.

And then, the highlight of the week, my mom's visit. She arrived Sunday night. Just in time for a family dinner.
